tim's Bits and Pieces - 77. Promises from an Anesthetized Mind

I need you to tell me the truth,

He sat me down to say

Will you, do you think?

Or can you promise me

That you won’t today?

 

Promises from an anesthetized mind

Are too easily unwitting lies

made from sand and cloudy days

But they are dangerous as

the lies crafted by design

 

my truth is a broken crystal.

shards strewn across the floor

Reality is a patchwork repair

of glass, and dust

and a bucket filled with tears

One thing I've learned with my son, it's a cycle that constantly repeats itself. Clouds eventually give way to sun, then roll back in when you're not looking. 

Your poetry speaks volumes. I'm not fond of this one because it hits so close to home. 

It's difficult to be the one asking for the promise, with no guarantee. 

But we hold onto every promise. I'm glad you have Michael. No matter where your inner thoughts are, he will be there to hold the bucket for your tears to fall into.

It is completely a cycle, nearly to the same date monthly.  But you learn and can see it coming. The good days are wonderful and a chance to regroup and breathe.  It is difficult to deal with ... reach out if you need to.

Thanks. Luckily we're in a stretch of sunny days right now.

Reminded of lyrics from No Choir by Florence and the Machine:

But the loneliness never left me
I always took it with me
But I can put it down in the pleasure of your company.

...

And if tomorrow it's all over
At least we had it for a moment
Oh darling, things seem so unstable
But for a moment we were able to be still

Thank You, Fae for sharing that .. it's wonderful.
